40. Interviews and other Personal Communications
The APA considers all personal communications, including interviews, as non-recoverable data, and
therefore recommends that you not include these citations in your reference list. Instead, you should
simply include an acknowledgement in the text of your paper, in the form of a parenthetical statement.
Provide the initials as well as the surname of the person and as exact a date as possible.

If you will be using information from a source that is attributed to a separate author than the source you
actually read, you need to include the source you read in your reference list and mention the author that
work discusses in the text of your paper. In the example below, you would actually have the article by
Beatty in hand but want to refer to the study by Johnson (unread by you) that Beatty mentioned.
